It has been three years since the expedition has traveled more than 27000 kilometers. In the past three years, the chain has never been lost in the wind and rain. Timely maintenance is indeed very important. Some minor maintenance can also be completed recently, such as replacing the air filter element. It has been about 2 years since the last replacement. Isn’t it summer? The air conditioner is going to be used, so it’s just time to replace it. Next, I will share the replacement process with everyone through pictures and texts. I hope these pictures and texts can help everyone

Vehicles parked on the roadside

Take out a new air filter

The position of the air filter element is under the steering wheel in the cab in the car. I have taken a photo and marked it out. The first thing to replace the air filter element is to turn on the switch here. You can open the engine compartment by gently pulling up.

Then I saw that the engine compartment would open a gap, and then I used my finger to push it to the right to easily open the engine compartment.

What it looks like after opening it

This is where the air filter element is located.

There are four screws around the air filter element fixed. Just use a screwdriver to loosen the screws. Just loosen them.

Start loosening the screws

There are four screws in total, and there are more here

After loosening it, you can see the air filter element

Take out the dirty filter element

There are many dirty particles under the filter element, such as dust or leaves

If you don’t have a vacuum cleaner, wipe it with a wet tissue. You can also use my method. You can also easily clean the dust with this method.

cleared out

Put in a new filter element

Cover the cover and tighten the screws in turn

The screws are also fixed here

Check again to see if everything is fixed.
Then add glass water. Maintenance also includes the correct use of glass water. Use-10 degrees Celsius in winter and 0 degrees Celsius in spring and summer. This is correct.

This is where the glass water is added

open the lid

It’s spring now, and we need to use glass water with a 0-degree mark

Add slowly and don’t let the glass water splash on the battery

After you add it, you can close the lid

Cover the glass water cover

Then carefully check whether there is any water or other tools left in the engine compartment, and make sure that the back cover of the engine compartment is properly covered.
The above methods and steps are two aspects of maintaining the vehicle this time. One is to replace the air filter element and the other is to correctly add glass water
That’s all for the maintenance of the explorers this time. I will update it next time. In summary, vehicles need to be maintained and taken care of frequently. Only in this way can the car play a better role, and it will also make your driving safer and more secure.
